* * * Third Annual Electronics Recycling
Event - look for it in late summer 2008! *
* *
The University of Maryland and the City of College Park, in conjunction with
Apple, are hosting a computer recycling event to give faculty, staff, students,
and local residents the opportunity to properly dispose of their unwanted computer
equipment (see a list of what's acceptable and what's unacceptable below).
The equipment will be disposed of in a secure fashion: all hard drives will
be shredded and other materials will be recycled. Volunteers will be on site
to unload your vehicle. There is no cost for this service, and no limit to the
amount of approved items you can drop off. Please note: University-owned
computers must be processed through the university's asset management process
and cannot be recycled at this event.
